'Night Sky Views' masterfully combines astronomy, physics, and travel guidance to create an authoritative resource for anyone seeking to experience Earth's most spectacular celestial vistas. This comprehensive guide explores the intricate relationship between geographical locations and optimal stargazing conditions, examining how factors like altitude, atmospheric clarity, and light pollution impact our ability to observe the cosmos.

 
The book progresses logically through three main sections, beginning with fundamental astronomical principles and atmospheric physics, then diving into detailed profiles of over 50 premier observation sites across six continents, and concluding with a practical calendar of celestial events. From Chile's Atacama Desert to New Zealand's dark sky preserves, readers discover scientifically-vetted locations for witnessing everything from meteor showers to zodiacal light phenomena.

 
What sets this book apart is its interdisciplinary approach, combining data from international observatories, atmospheric scientists, and travel experts to provide actionable guidance for astronomical tourism. The text addresses practical challenges like equipment management in remote locations and photography techniques under varying atmospheric conditions, while maintaining scientific accuracy. Special attention is given to contemporary issues like climate change and light pollution, making this guide particularly relevant for modern stargazers seeking to plan meaningful astronomical adventures.

    Beneath the waves, one of Earth’s most extraordinary ecosystems is fading from colour to white. Coral reefs — the rainforests of the sea — are dying at an unprecedented rate, taking with them a quarter of all marine life and the livelihoods of millions who depend on them. 
    In The Last Coral, Alex Southwick journeys from the Great Barrier Reef to the islands of the Pacific, tracing the human and ecological story of the planet’s most fragile wonder. Through scientists, divers, and coastal communities, Southwick captures both the urgency of the crisis and the fierce devotion of those fighting to preserve what remains. 
    This is not just a tale of loss, but of endurance — of reefs regenerating in unlikely places, and of people refusing to surrender to despair. 
    Measured, moving, and unsentimental, The Last Coral asks what it means to love something vanishing — and whether that love might yet be enough to bring it back.

    A David and Goliath story about Ireland’s role as prime real estate for the world’s largest tech multinationals, and the considerable impact it has had on us as individuals. 
    At the start of the millennium, the Tech giants landed on Ireland’s shores. Dublin, once one of Europe’s poorest cities, became a beacon of Silicon Valley’s promise of progress and power. As the face of the capital was remade in the image of Big Tech, Irish society embraced technology like no other. Romantic Ireland was dead and gone: social media was here to stay. 
    In this provocative account, Aoife Barry explores the human cost of Ireland’s Faustian pact with Big Tech, from the local communities uprooted by Google to the traumatised moderators squirrelled in the capital’s pockets, keeping the internet safe at a terrible price. Unsettling, insightful, and wryly funny, she paints a portrait of a country addicted to the internet, refreshing the news, refreshing Twitter, scrolling and scrolling towards a feverish future. She turns an equally honest eye on her own life online, from her humble beginnings using dial-up in her parent’s kitchen to working for Ireland’s first digital-only newsroom, and asks what we bargain in exchange for life in the metaverse. 
    Social Capital is the coming of age story of Ireland 3.0: set against the backdrop of the tech revolution, it chronicles how we collapse the boundary between physical and virtual reality, and where we might go from here. 
    Barry's new book, Social Capital, is a popular science exploration into the world of computers and information technology. It's a top pick for anyone interested in the intersection of culture, economics, and the latest developments in the tech industry. 
    For fans of Bill Gifford (Ledyard), Britney Spears (The woman in me), Dolly Alderton (Everything I Know About Love), Bono (Surrender), and Ian H. Robertson (How Confidence Works).
